Speeders & Rail Trucks
Click on the photos for more information!  

"Speeders" are self-propelled vehicles that move the crew and supplies around the railroad -- some even carry freight, passengers and light equipment. Kits include our superbly detailed resin castings with illustrated parts listings, colour reference photos and our "fabulously" detailed instructions, plus a variety of ideas for extra detailing!


Add operating interest to large layouts by running a speeder or rail truck along the line between freights ... or run them on a tiny micro-layout. The 371 Mudbug and Trailer will operate on 6" minimum radius. The 372 & 373 Tin Chicken rail trucks will operate on 7" minimum radius.
(Finished samples shown with mechanisms, couplers and additional details not included in the kits -- please see detailed descriptions for kit contents.)
